Not usually a topic on SAU, I get that but I just looked these up on Carsales and it kinda surprised me.

First of all, the Mac-Daddy model will set you back $90-freaking-k!!

Second of all, its a RWD! With a fair bit of power.

Is this platform from another manufacturer? Mercedes perhaps?

Just seems like a mighty step for a small-car manufacturer to leap, making $90k RWD's all of a sudden.

Anybody know much about them?

I love this; "Our car had the $22,000 Ultimate package"

Thats a 'package' worth as much as a brand new base Corolla!

I thought I read Hyundai went all out and built it from the ground up themselves, just to prove they could.

One of the reviews said it was a lard arse and too expensive considering the competition.

took a mates for a drive a little while back, not too bad. they feel expensive enough and have a bit of poke of course but i couldn't justify the price tag.

not when you can buy a jag or turbo merc. or plenty of faster cars if thats your thing.

good to see their breaking through to that market though. looking good for their future cars i must say.

^I think they specifically chose NA because of smoothness...

Price seems good when its S class / A8 / 7 series size and options?

Love me badge snobs... Its basically a Lexus but cheaper imo. (And won't break like the Germans will.)

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.
